The CCP called the documentary filmmaker Du Bin “a guy whose expertise is to tear off government’s scars”. Du Bin has published many books to confront the distorted history interpretation through the propaganda mechanism of the CCP. He said: “During the entire communist movement, a total of more than 100 million people died of violent deaths. Among them, in China, it should be said that they were caused by abnormal deaths during the Mao era. According to my research and other historians, about 80 million Chinese people died. ”
It’s a miracle that Du Bin has not been thrown into jail. He lives in Beijing nowadays.

The writer Du Daobin was in and out of police station and the detention center numerous times in the last years. He lived in the same province Hubei, where the Corona broke out in January. Du Daobin started to report on line about the pandemic situation in Wuhan and to criticise the wrong management of the local government. He was prompt put under “house arrest” by the authority. He was warned that the “house arrest could be unlimited”, the security officer even threatens: “till your death”.

One day, on the Independent Chinese PEN Center (ICPC) chat room, the writer and web-master Ye Du complained about having been sentenced to house arrest four times this year. Altogether, he had lost his freedom for one and half months. The most recent time was around June 4th when he couldn’t leave his home for 12 days.

Every year in China on the eve of June 4th a lot of “sensitive figures” need to “disappear” so that they do not “disturb the social order” of the country. Most of them come back after the specified date. This year, two of them did not return, and their absence has sparked international attention and worry.

On May 31 the journalist and filmmaker Du Bin was taken away by a group of policemen who also raided his house and confiscated his computer and laptop, along with his films, books, discs, files, and other items.

The 41-year-old Du Bin is now detained in Fengtai, Beijing. His friend, the famous human rights activist Hu Jia, believes that the arrest is related to his documentary film on Falun Gong titled Women Above the Ghosts’ Heads, which was recently released in Hong Kong. The film shows the torture and inhumane treatment of female Falun Gong practitioners in Masanjia Forced Labor Camps in the Liaoning province. Besides the controversial documentary, Du has spent the last eight years researching and collecting material to write a book entitled The Tiananmen Massacre, which was also published in Hong Kong only weeks ago.

In these works Du has addressed the two main political taboos in China. As such, his arrest was almost predictable. Even his status as a former contractor and photographer for The New York Times could not protect him.

According to China’s law of criminal detention, the police can detain a person for no more than 30 days with an extension of seven days. The detention concludes either with release or official arrest. It seems that Du could not escape the fate of the legal process.

For years, Du Bin has worked on the bottom of society and recorded the miserable fate of the underprivileged through his photography and writing. The protagonists of his books are common people who were kept in the so-called illegal prisons for trifling infractions, or those whose homes have been demolished, or persecuted Falun Gong practitioners, to name a few. He also wrote a book on Mao Zedong which exposed the tyrant’s schizophrenic character and his book on dissident artist Ai Weiwei is well known too.

All of his books are published in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Brave Du’s behavior matches the Chinese jargon: Touch the tiger’s ass*. He has indeed scratched the wound of the Chinese Communist Party.

Du Daobin is a dissident writer based in Hubei province. He is under “house arrest since May 2020 because his critic to the Corona management of the auathority.Picture:news.ltn.com.tw

Another prominent writer with a similar name, Du Daobin, was arrested by Beijing security police on June 3rd. Du, originally based in his hometown of Yingcheng City, Hubei province, moved to Beijing in the spring to take a job at a law firm. This time the authority accused him of “suspicious behavior and provocation and disturbing the peace.” Daobin is detained in Beijing No. 1 Detention Centre now. The police have also raided his home and confiscated his computer, books, files, and discs.

The 50-year-old Du is a so-called “repeat offender.” In 2003 he was arrested because of his numerous writings on the Internet. His critical mind and clear language function like a spearhead that points to tumors of social and political injustice. He was charged with “inciting subversion of state power,” and sentenced to three years in prison with a four-year suspended sentence. So after the trial, he was released and instructed to behave in a politically correct manner for four years. Before the Beijing Olympics in 2008, days before his suspension was over, the authority claimed that he “violated the requirement of the suspended sentence” and threw him into prison for the original sentence of three years. After serving the full sentence, Du was released in December 2010.

During his time in prison, Du read lots of books and kept a dairy. He did this under dangerous circumstances, because prison security personnel held unannounced, sudden checks of inmates’ cells.

However, the prison experience did not intimidate Du Daobin. In the past two years of living in freedom, although under constant harassment at the hands of the police, Du has continued to write political commentaries and has gotten involved in China’s social movement. His recent arrest might be a result of his critical writing “exposing the property and wealth of the politicians to the public” on his blog, although we can’t really be sure since the recent postings have been permanently deleted.

Judging by the present political barometer, the filmmaker Du Bin may face trial. The severe charge of “inciting subversion of state power” may stick with him. If this were to happen, he would receive a sentence of multiple years, while Du Daobin may be released again without charge.

With or without a sentence, what Du Daobin wrote in 2004 while he was detained and awaiting trial, rings true: “There are two ways to face reality: Kneel down at the foot of reality or stand face to face with it. Stand face to face with reality, be a man who does not bend to evil, collaborate with evil, even dare to challenge evil like Don Quixote. That is my reality. I choose hardship instead of comfort, I choose prison instead of a successful career.”

Well, this is also the reality that Chinese rulers have to face: Citizens who do not want to kneel down, who do not fear going to prison. There are not only these two Dus, but millions of them.

*Political jargon in the Chinese Mainland, the term “touch the tiger’s ass” means to challenge a sensitive political issue by raising public attention.

Tienchi Martin-Liao was the columnist of the Pittsburg literature online magazine SAMPSONIA WAY. She wrote for the FEARLESS INK column – Blind Chess from May 2012 till July 2018. The articles are reposted here, some of them are updated if necessary. Most of the topics and contents are still up to date, because in China the suppression on the intellectuals and dissidents is more severe then ever. There is no freedom of expression, no freedom of press, and people go to jail when they write things that offend the authority.
